About Restless Development

Restless Development is a global non profit agency. We support the collective power of young leaders to create a better world. We are independently registered and governed in nine countries (India, Nepal, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, UK, USA, Zambia and Zimbabwe) bound together by our vision for youth power. We run youth-led programmes to tackle the issues that young people care about the most. We also run the Youth Collective – a growing network of over 4000 local youth civil society groups and organisations in 185 countries. We are committed to creating an agency that walks the talk on power shifting, using the power shifting checklist, both internally and externally.

Our approach to safeguarding

Restless Development considers the welfare and protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults to be an organisational imperative with primacy over the success of programmes or strategic objectives. We recognise that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and we expect all of our staff, volunteers and partners to ensure we protect the communities in which we operate from harm and abide by our Safeguarding Policy.

About the Role

The £4.5m Young Gamechangers Fund (YGF) is an exciting UK funding initiative that provides grants of up to £20,000 a year to young people transforming communities into safer, more sustainable and more inclusive places to live. Funding is provided by the Co-op Foundation, Co-op and #iwill fund, and is delivered in partnership by Restless Development,  Global Fund for Children and the Co-op Foundation. In addition to funding, successful applicants also get access to peer support networks, training and mentoring. Importantly, the fund is co-designed with young activists, through a Youth Steering Group. All elements of the programme are youth-led and grantee centred, with a commitment to seeking input from young people at all stages. 

The Evaluation and Learning Coordinator will play a leading role in ensuring that the Young Gamechangers Fund is accurately reported and represented. 

We are looking for someone who is excited by youth leadership and measuring the clear impacts of this. You are organised and can manage multiple tasks, enjoy helping people work through strategic and operational challenges and are comfortable managing relationships with diverse stakeholders.

The role will involve working closely with colleagues based within Global Fund for Children (GFC), our delivery partner on the fund, the Co-op Foundation, Co-op and #iwill Fund as well as our Evaluation and Learning Partner TSIP.
